Fri, 26 Apr 2013 04:29:34 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=87312#comment-3219461No, not “great picks”. But what are your expectations of guys drafted past the fourth round? If he doesn’t appear in a pro bowl is he a “bust”?

I would say all the above were solid picks and did all that you could ask of a bottom half draft pick. (With the exception of Williams who exceeded expectations.)

Each draft pick comes with a certain level of expectation. Erik Lorig was a seventh round DE that has turned into a solid starting fullback. Mike Williams obviously turned out great. Dakoda Watson has been nothing short of a DOMINANT special teamer. Sammie Stroughter became a starting receiver for a short amount of time and was fairly productive for awhile. He also contributed in the return game. Cody Grimm was a solid starter for us until he broke his leg. Seems like he hasn’t been the same since though, unfortunately.

Relative to where these guys were picked, yes, I think they were very solid choices at the time.

(Of course Dom will still get the blame for any players that don’t turn out to be good picks.)

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 23:54:47 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=87312#comment-3218594Yeah with guys like Dakoda Watson, Erik Lorig, Sammie Stroughter, E.J. Biggers, Mike Williams, etc. lord knows Dom is totally inept at the back half of the draft. (Sorry if the sarcasm didn’t come through, it was there.)

Guys, there is usually, at the most, ONE GUY in the entire draft that turns into a super star after the third round. Dom has done fairly well in the back half up to this point. To expect guys in the fourth round and back to become major contributors is a little ridiculous. He hasn’t been amazing but he is far from inept.

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:59:51 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=87312#comment-3217748Wonder if the alleged “rock star” has Stokes looking for any hidden gem punters in the late rounds.

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:57:49 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=87312#comment-3217739At least Dom’s willing to admit that this is an area in which he could use some help. He should be commended for his first three picks last year but the last four have uphill battles for roster spots in need positions.

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 19:45:17 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=87312#comment-3217688You may be right about Stokes. With such a good middle/late round record, he may indeed prove invaluable. Picking wisely seems to be an art. Hard to know who will turn out well. Part of the fun and mystery of the game. I do believe there will be several gems out there in the late rounds. But which ones are they?
